shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to verify client identity
by distributing a shared key to stations before attempting authentication.
• Associated: Shows if the station has been successfully associated with the access
point. Once authentication is completed, stations can associate with the current
access point, or reassociate with a new access point. The association procedure
allows the wireless system to track the location of each mobile client, and ensure
that frames destined for each client are forwarded to the appropriate access point.
• Forwarding Allowed: Shows if the station has passed 802.1X authentication and is
now allowed to forward traffic to the access point.
• Key Type – Displays one of the following:
• WEP Disabled – The client is not using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
encryption keys.
• Dynamic – The client is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (802.1X or pre-shared
key mode) or using 802.1X authentication with dynamic keying.
• Static – The client is using static WEP keys for encryption.
